And I could not end a collection of Autumn Quotes without a couple Autumn Poem:
Lo! sweeten’d with the summer light,
The full-juiced apple, waxing over-mellow,
Drops in a silent autumn night.
All its allotted length of days
The flower ripens in its place,
Ripens and fades, and falls, and hath no toil,
Fast-rooted in the fruitful soil.
~Alfred Lord Tennyson
“O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained
With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit
Beneath my shady roof; there thou may’st rest,
And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe;
And all the daughters of the year shall dance!
Sing now the lusty song of fruit and flowers.
~ William Blake
“Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze.”

And ending with a short quote about Autumn:
Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.
~William Cullen Bryant
When the bold branches
Bid farewell to rainbow leaves -
Welcome wool sweaters.
~B. Cybrill
